[QUOTE="JGulick, post: 4485887, member: 66409"] Several people have stated this, but that doesn't make it true. The rules are not silent on this matter, nor is this a case of a bullet list that may or may not have been intended to indicate order. Here, there is a numbered, ordered list of steps that must be ignored for the question to arise. This Interrupt says it happens when an ally is hit, whereas OAs say they happen when an Attack is made. Any and all OAs provoked by the attack happened before the Hit was determined, after either step 1 or 2 rather than after step 4, using the order of steps of Making an Attack on PHB269. Interestingly, this seems to answer a question I recall going around earlier, if OAs or CC-provided attacks come first. OAs are provoked in step 1 (when a Ranged attack is selected), while CC triggers in step 2 (when a target other than the Fighter is selected). Thus, in the case of a ranged attack being the provoking action, the OA(s) come before the CC. [/QUOTE]
